Installation

Introduction

The Non-Windows agent is the distributed component of ePolicy Orchestrator that

must be installed on each Macintosh computer on the network. The agent collects and

sends information between the ePolicy Orchestrator server and repositories, and

manages VirusScan installations across the network. How you configure the agent and

its policy settings determines how it facilitates communication and updating in your

environment.

System requirements

The agent can be installed on the Apple Macintosh OS X operating system, version

10.4.6 (or later), on any of the following Macintosh platforms:

G3

G4

G5

SMP (dual processor)

Intel-based Macintosh computer

Checking in NAP files to manage VirusScan

To manage VirusScan through ePolicy Orchestrator, you must first add the product

.NAP files to the software repository on the ePolicy Orchestrator server. The .NAP files

contain VirusScan policy pages, where you control the product settings that are

deployed through the ePolicy Orchestrator agent to the client computers.

McAfee releases .NAP files for all anti-virus and security products supported by ePolicy

Orchestrator. The .NAP file for a given product is available with the other installation

files for that product. These can be either on the product CD or in the product .ZIP file

if you downloaded the installation files from the McAfee web site. The .NAP files for

VirusScan are available in the

ePolicy Orchestrator Server Components

subfolder on the

product CD, or in the product .ZIP file. A .NAP file always has a .NAP extension and is

named with a product name code and version number, such as NWA-MAC300.NAP.

Note

For detailed information about using ePolicy Orchestrator, refer to the

ePolicy

Orchestrator Product Guides

.

Note

Policy pages are not added to the master repository; they are stored on the ePolicy

Orchestrator server. Because of this, NAP files are not replicated to distributed

repositories or updated to Macintosh computers.
